I was recently in Burnie on holidays at the Makers Workshop. They had a guy there turning bowls and stuff and when he started sanding, he used a Carbatec single side bag d/e with some flex hose. It must have worked pretty well and was quiet enough to use in an open plan shop. I have been looking at the enclosed units at Hare and Forbes https://www.machineryhouse.com.au/Products?stockCode=W848 to mount under my bench and run some PVC piping to my lathe for the same purpose. The enclosure keeps the noise and dust inside the unit which I think isn't a bad idea.

Thanks for your response
I had a quick look at the Hare and Forbes. I take it that you still have to have a DE and instead of the bag on the DE a hose links it into the box. Would I be right?
How did the guy in Tassie have his hooked up? A 1hp side bag DE that trapped all dust would be great as long as it is easy to empty.
I like Bruce's idea of have the PVC piping instead of the corrugated flexible pipe.

Greg,
From my understanding, there is an 1100W motor on the end of the box that draws the air in so it is a self contained DE, no need for another unit.
The one in Tassie had his lathe set in the mddle of his space with the DE under a bench to his right, at right angles to the lathe. A 4inch flex hose ran to the back of the lathe and rested on the edge of the banjo via a cable tie. It's a bit hard to explain but it looked really simple.
